How to Know if The System is Worth It In order to determine if a security system is worth it for your family, start by asking yourself what would make it worth it to you. There's no question that alarm systems deter crime and can increase the odds of catching a burglar if your home does get broken into. According to the Electronic Security Association, if a home with a security system still falls victim to crime, the average loss is approximately $2,000 less than in a home with no protection. Security systems and monitoring discourage break-ins: 60% of convicted burglars say they will target another home if they discover a security system in the one they are trying to rob. If your goal is reducing loss from burglary, it's easy to see that security systems make a difference. However, with the additional services provided by monitoring companies you could end up saving a lot more if you add smoke alarm, carbon monoxide, and remote home automation services that can help prevent loss of life and property while managing energy costs. But, just as with all types of insurance, there's no guarantee that you will ever need to utilize the full extent of your alarm and monitoring services. That's why it's important to fully understand your security goals in order to accurately weigh the true value of a security system and its cost.
